crap There was just an aftershock where I live, and it was really freakin scary. It wasn't a trembling earthquake but more like a thud. It felt like the ground underneath just collapsed or something. I hate earthquakes.

Okay Anyways... I was wondering if any of you guys know any good books to read? I've been itching to read a new novel, or series. So if you guys do have any please type out the title and author or something. Thanks.

You should read Brom's "the Plucker". His illustrations are those that would be censored if it were in a kids book, but it's a great story about good against evila nd it worth to take a day off to read it. It took me two hours to finish it and I had to buy it after it was that good.

If you like a good mystery I'll assume you like crime/thriller esc ones aswell.Kathy Reichs and Patrica Cornwell are at the top of the game with crime/mystery books If you're looking for a good new read.

Hmm, mystery....... Well, if you like the nitty-gritty realistic kind, I suggest Dennis Lehane's books. They're all very good, but I especially liked his Kenzie-Gennaro series (which actually makes up 5 of the 7 books I know of that he's written). It's about two Boston detectives that solve some pretty interesting cases. Sounds generic, but they're pretty good.They go in order of:

"A Drink Before the War""Darkness, Take My Hand""Sacred""Gone, Baby, Gone""Prayers for Rain"

If you like bit more of psychological mystery then I suggest "Shutter Island" by the same author. Takes place in an Azkaban-style asylum. That automatically means it's good, least to me There's some interesting twists in it and I've got to say it's my favorite Dennis Lehane book.

Good luck with your quest for decent literature and sorry if I rambled on to much

I just started the series, A Song of Ice and Fire. First book is A Game of Thrones. It's a medieval fantasy novel that is not full of magical powers and nonsense. There's these creepy undead things that you're introduced to in the prologue, but the rest of it is pretty much knights and princesses and bastards. It's got fighting and delusion and bids for power and all that fun stuff.

If you're ages 12-16, have never kissed anyone, and happen to like a series written entirely in first person, take theREDspy's suggestion.

I also recommend American Gods by Gaiman, as well as Stardust (watch the movie as well).

There's a three book series containing H. P. Lovecraft's short stories that I recommend as well. The guy's creepy.

I also, as some point in my younger years, acquired the entire Xanth series by Piers Anthony. Fantasy/Action/Comedy/Romance that takes place in a fictional land that looks a bit like Florida and turns idioms into reality. First book is A Spell for Chameleon.

I'm really critical of books, and after finishing my new favorite book "Good Omens" by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett I was at a loss for what to read. This picked me right back up and showed me a great new author to look out for. It's his first book, but it's really great.

My favorite books are anything by Chuck Palaniuk (the guy who wrote Fight Club). They're pretty graphic, and super-trippy, but if you're into that sort of thang then I'd definitely recommend any of them. I just finished Lullaby and it was fantastic.

Hm. Well that's a tough one for me to recommend then I'm afraid. The only mystery-like things I've read recently are fairly light as well as light-hearted; the Amelia Peabody series. I think these are more female oriented though and not really all that suspenseful.
